Maya Lin: Artist-Architect of Light and Lines

Jeanne Walker Harvey

This biography follows Maya Lin from a childhood spent studying nearby spaces, observing nature, and making small paper buildings to her work as an artist and architect. Influenced by buildings at college and abroad, she imagined becoming an architect. At twenty-one, her design for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial won a contest, despite criticism and opposition. The book also considers her continuing career and the works she created beyond the memorial.
